The funeral of Thavisha Peiris, the 25-year-old student who was killed in the United Kingdom while out working in South Yorkshire on October 27th Sunday, would take place tomorrow evening at his residence at No.102/1, Koswatta road, Nawala, family sources said.
 
His body was brought to Sri Lanka last Monday (18) through the sponsorship of his employer in the UK and through donations by some sympathizers in the UK.

Mr. Peiris, who moved to Sheffield two-and-a-half years ago to study software engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, was working at a pizza outlet at the time of his death, after completing his degree while looking for a job where he could use his qualification.
